TiiK  TiioisANi)  Island  Hocsk  is  located  at  "Alexandria  IJay." 
directly  on  the  famous  and  historic  River  St.  Lavrcnee.  Its  scenery 
is  absolutely  uneijualed,  and  it  is  easily  accessible  by  the  I'tica  S: 
Black  River  R.  R.,  the  Rome,  Watertown  it  Otrdcnsburu-  R.  R.,  tiic

with  boats  of  all  kinds,  eoml)ined  with  the  sumptuous  accommoda- 
tions of  The  Thousand  Island  House,  make  it  the  mo.st  delightful 
inland  resort  in  the  northern  regions  of  New  York.  The  demand  of 
the  public  has  been  for  a  iirst-class  hotel  in  this  section,  and  with  the  im-

'^T  is  iridfod  a  good  thing  that  a  moans  of  supply  is  givon  us  i'or 
cij;  ovory  rial  nood,  tiuit  as  tho  soasons  roll  round  with  their  ooascloss 
oliangos,  ilu'  genius  of  man  is  constantly  devising  moans  of 
moeting  and  lilling  the  need  of  the  hour,  and  so  niakin>,',  not  only  tlio 
waslo  places  of  tho  eartli,  hut  of  nion's  souls  also,  to  "  hlossoin  as  the 
rose."  IVrhaps  the  jiast  century,  which  has  witnessed  the  civilization 
of  our  own  "(ioodly  Countrio"  and  lias  (U'veloped  and  faxed  (lie 
energies  of  her  people  to  the  utmost,  has  not  known  a  greater  need 
than  this  one  of  rest  and  recreation  for  body  and  mind  during  some 
portion  of  eaeh  year  in  order  that  their  work  may  not  prove  .an  overtiix, 
ami,  they  suddenly  find  themselves,  while  yet  in  the  prime  of  life  and 
apparent  health,  stricken  down  and  out  of  their  places,  and  "  ho  known 
there  no  more  forever."  Often  the  men  so  stricken  are  such  as  we 
can  illy  sjiare;  their  places  are  not  easily  tilled,  and  a  moans  ])rovideil 
which  will  sustain  and  jn-olong  flieir  usefulness  is  a  priceless  boon. 
Such  moans  are  at  liaiul;  we  have  only  to  avail  ourselves  of  the  bone- 
tits  to  bo  gained  thereby.  Not  least  among  the  many  retreats  offered 
for  this  imrpose  is  the  Thous.'ind  Islands.  It  is  idcntitied  with  inanv 
scenes  of  the  earliest  liLstory  of  our  country,  and  though  it  is  only 
recently  its  peculiar  beauty  and  fitness  as  a  resting  place  "amid  the 
toil  of  the  years"  has  become  generally  known  to  the  people,  yet, 
since  the  story  has  been  told,  its  success  has  been  almost  unparalleled, 
and  from  East,  West,  North  and  South,  its  praises  are  sounded  bv 
those  who  have  been  made  glad  by  its  beauty,  rested  in  its  serene 
quiet,  and  so  been  restored  to  the  glad  fullness  of  useful  living. 
Please  read  the  attempt  at  a  description  wo  give  you— it  is  only  an 
attempt;  the  beauty  of  this  place  can  only  be  realized  by  an  actual 
visit,  which,  we  trust,  this  little  book  may  jtrove  an  incentive  to  you 
to  undertake.

quencc,  financiallv,  have   learne.l,  myriads  of  them,  how  nnnu.nsely 
profitable  it    is  to  them   in  every  sense  to  m.r.      These  thousan.ls  <.t 
men  have  at  the  same  time  learned  that  they  may,  while  recuperatnif,' 
their  worn-out  energies,  enjoy  themselves  amid  the  grandest  beauties 
of  Nature's  handiwork;    may  buihl  up  wasted  energi.'s  in  the  sports 
for  which  are  provide<l  fish  and  bird  and  beast,  and  go  back  to  then-

'..ijoy  a  vacation  from  labor,  it    is  not   necessary   to  turn    it    into  a 
vacation  of  dissipation. 

There  has  been  of  lati-  years  a  great  amuial  increase  in  the  num- 
bers of  those  who  saw  the  wis.lom  of  laying  down  their  bur.lens  tor  a 
time  with  the  assurance  that  when  again  taken  up  it  would  be  with 
renewed  energy,  through  which  they  might  not  only  aecomphsh 
more  of  their  accustomed  labor,  but  would  at  the  same  time  add  to 
the  term  of  their  lives.  Hut  last  year  this  idea  seemed  to  have  be-

period,  fly  to  the  wcxtds  and  the  lakes,  the  mountains  and  the 
Htreams,  the  seashore  and  the  rural  honu",  to  breathe  in  from  Nature's 
own  scenes  new  powers  for  the  future. 

For  these  reasons  it  is  now  a  common  toj)ie  around  the  family 
hearth,  throujirh  the  winter  and  sprin;;,  to  doeide  what  will  be  ilone 
for  enjoyment  durint;  the  rej^ular  summer  respite.  This  (pu'slionis 
now-a-days  not  so  difficult  to  decide  as  it  was  a  few  yi'ars  aj^o.  The 
matchless  beauty  of  tlu'  scenery  of  the  'I'housand  Islands  and  the  St. 
Lawrence  River,  its  wonderful  resources  as  a  sportinjjf  locality,  and 
the  deserved  |)opularity  of  the  Tiioi.sam)  Isi..vni>  IIoise,  (over 
twelve  thousand  jruests  registered  there  durint^  the  season  of  1HH2), 
arc  now  so  well  known  thronyhout  the  whole  country  that  it  needs 
little  discussion  to  turn  the  faces  of  all  seekers  after  rest,  health 
and  recreation  in  that  diiection.  It  i.  now  the  popular  Mecca 
for  •  thousands  of  all  classes  of  people,  tlie  nund»ers  of  wlioni 
arc  yearly  inci-easing — people  who  seek  the  locality  where  they 
may  spend  any  Iciiirth  of  time  anud  the  most  ronnintic  scenery 
on  the  continent,  enjoy  the  most  cxeitmLj  sport,  an<l  at  the  same 
time  .secure  any  deyree  of  comfort,  from  a  tent  on  a  wild  islaml 
to  a  sumptuous  room  in  the  Tn(»isA\i)  Island  IIoisi:,  one  of  the 
liiicst  and  most  complete  hotels  to  be  foinid  anywhere. 

Of  c()urse,  in  selecting  a  sunuiier  resort,  the  fir.st  attribute  shouhl 
be  its  health-givinijr  attractions.  That  the  St.  Lawrence  Itiver, 
os]>ecially  in  the  vicinity  of  the  Thousand  Islands,  possesses  these  in 
an  eminent  degree,  v.  ill  be  seen  by  the  following  comments  from  the 
pen  of  an  able  writer,  who  has  sj)ent  many  summers  tiicrc: 

'The  air  is  light,  dry  and  mellow,  and  is  adajited  to  tiie  consti- 
tution of  almost  every  one,  producing  a  kind  of  peace-w  ith-all-the- 
world  feeling,  and  endowing  one  with  a  new  and  wondrous  activity. 
Fogs  rarely  occur  here,  and  you  can  remain  day  and  night  out  of 
doors  without  jieril  to  health.  Neither  is  the  night  atmosphere  damp 
and  heavy,  us  it  is  near  the  sea-shore  and  at  many  of  the  inland  re- 
sorts; it  is  generally  with  tardy  steps  that  one  withdraws  indoors  at 
meal  time  or  for  the  night. 

"  Many  a  time  have  we,  after  retiring  to  our  bed,  opened  the 
blinds  and  windows  of  our  room  so  as  to  obtain  one  more  view  of 
Nature  in  her  evening  dress  before  closing  our  eyes  for  the  night.

land  narrows  into  a  rngLCcd  promontory,  endinu:  in  a  bluff  sixt^-  feet 
in  Iu'i<.dit.  Here,  liftinj^  tlieir  ruined  heads  aloft  and  plainly  visible 
to  all  passery  alonif  the  river,  stand  a  number  of  toppling  and  half- 
ruined  chimneys.  They  may  be  seen  fur  miles 
around.     So  lonj;  liave  these  old  sentinels  watehed 

over  the  scenes  around 
them,  their  history  is  lost 
in  tiie  past.  Around 
them  are  the  ruins  of  an 
old  fort,  sui>posetl  to  be

student  of  history. 

Another  of  the  interesting;  points  of  attraction  amoiiti;  the  Ameri- 
can island,  is  the  Devil's  Oven— a  !j;reat  and  nearly  cubical  block  of 
^jcranite,  symmetrical  eiioui,'!!  to  have  been  cut  with  human  liands,  its 
summit  topped  l)y  a  lialf-f.'imislied  _iri-,,.,vtli  <  !'  rajr^ed  cellars,  while  in 
one  of  its  sides  is  excavated  an  almost  circular  openinjjr  which  boars 
a  resemblance  to  a  great  oven  ;  this  place  has  also  its  Icfreiid,  which 
any  of  the  river  dwellers 
can  relate  to  you. 

Of  course  there  are 
liuiulreds  of  other  islands, 
capes,  bays  and  various 
points  of  interest,  all  of 
which  will  be  well  worth 
a  visit  from  the  tourist. 
Together  they  coiitrib  ite 
to  make  the  grand  scenery 
of  the  Thoiisan<l  Islands, 
which  lias  given  I  lie 
locality  a  fame  that  is  not 
contined  to  America,  even. 
Many  of  these  island  have 
been  jmrchascd  by  j)rivafe 
parties  and  have  been  built 
upon  and  improved  for 
summer  '-esideiiees.     Some 

of  •'liese  islands  are  so  small  devivs  ove\. 

the  owners  can  throw  a  fly  from  the  front  door  of  their  dwelliiig.s  to 
the  bass  they  can  plainly  see  in  the  clear  water,  which  is  never  dis- 
turbed by  a  freshet.

Among  these  many  ])oiiits  of  interest  is  the  splendid  water  view 
from  J>liifl:'  Ishuid,  which  the  artist  has  so  ))erfei'tly  pcrtravcd.  From 
these  bold,  rugged  rocks, which  rise  perpendicularly  to  a  hundred  feet 
above  the  water,  a  view  is  obtained  which  one  may  travel  the  conti-

and  40  feet  wide,  extends  back  100  feet.  A  tower,  •24x27  feet,  rises 
100  feet  above  the  foundation.  I'nder  the  cast  end  is  a  natural  cellar 
in  the  solid  roek  l.'JO  feet  long.  Sinee  the  season  of  IHSO,  a  new 
bnihling  has  been  ereeted,  separate  from  the  hotel,  for  the  use  ot  ser-

here  will  lind  the  rest,  comrort  and  attention  which  they  seek  in 
going  from  city  to  country,  and  every  facility  will  be  aiforded  them 
for  seeing  and  enjoying  the  rare  scenery  and  varied  ainuseineiits  of 
the  rivi'r  and  islands.  No  eniployees  will  be  retainccl  in  the  estab- 
lishment who  prove  to  be  incoin)  tent,  negligent  or  discourteous. 
I'^iniilies  and  partii's  can  be  accommodated  with  di'siralile  suites  of 
rooms  at  reasonable  prices,  with  private  dining-rooms  if  desired. 
Invalids  can  have  tire  in  their  rooms  when  wanted,  ami  whatever  else 
the  hotel  can  provide  in  the  way  of  special  comforts  and  attention. 

HOAIS    AND    noATINO. 

The  splendid  boats  of  Alexandria  Uay  have  won  an  extemled 
reputation.  They  are  beautiful  craft,  and  it  is  not  only  delightful 
to  row  among  the  islands  and  upon  tlie  smooth  waters  of  the  bay,  but 
it  is,  as  every  one  knows,  a  most  healthful  exercise.  (Quests  of  the 
TiiousAN'i)  Isr.AN'n  IIol'sk  will  timl  at  their  disposal  this  seascni  more 
than  three  hundred  boats,  and  careful  ami  experienced  boatmen  can 
always  be  engaged  at  from  two  to  three  dollars  a  day. 

Sl'OUTINO. 

AVe  must  not  omit  to  mention  the  entertainment  to  be  found  liere, 
which  is  much  like  the  Chinamairs  national  beverage  in  that  it  cheers 
but  does  not  inebriate;  gives  that  healtliful  rest  wliich  never  comes 
so  surely  from  entire  physical  inactivity  as  from  change  of  scene  and 
laying  aside  the  routine  of  daily  occupation  (ov  something  that  in- 
terests while  it  does  not  exhaust  froju  excessive  mental  strain.  We 
have  both  "  tishing  and  hunting"  here,  as  one  has  written.  Fishing, 
of  course.  It  is  a  good  day.  The  water  is  still,  and  there  is  a  thin 
veil  of  clouds  in  the  sky.  We  knew  it  was  hot  elsewl.re,  but  it  is 
not  here.  We  .start  oft  a  merry  grouj)  of  bo.its.  ^  >  row  in  and

Bass,  pickerel,  wall-eyed  pike,  muskallonge  !  They  come  from  ex- 
haustless  breeding  and  feeding  grounds  and  will  always  be  here.  On 
a  lazy  afternoon,  we  throw  or  troll  our  ibcs  around  the  islands  directly 
in  front  of  the  hotel.  There  are  places  within  fifty  rods  where  we 
can  hardly  throw  a  tly  without  getting  a  "  rise."     We  see  every  day

One  cannot  imagine  a  |)iaco  hetter  designed  for  the  complete  en- 
joyment of  jiienic  parties  than  the  Thousand  Islands;  not  a  pleasant

the  south  bank  of  the  river,  twelve  miles  from  Clayton,  N.  Y.,  thirty-

Avhieli,  previous  to  its  beeoniinif  the  jiroperty  of  this  House, 
are  shown  i)y  the  artist.  This  Spring  has  been  purehaseil  hy  the 
proprietor  of  tlie 
House,  and  its 
free  use   will  be      "     "  . 


devoted  to  the  exclusive  use  of  its  <;uests.  It  is 
rapidly  sraininjr  an  enviable  reputation  for  the  liealth- 
fulness  of  its  waters,  and  bids  fair  to  soon  rival  its  more  pretentious 
prcdeeessors  at  the  jx.pular  watering-i)laees.  The  reputatic.ii  of  this 
S]>ring  for  health-giving  jirojierties  is  now  fully  established.  ^lany 
who  have  partaken  freely  of  its  clear,  ice-cold  medicinal  waters, 
have  received  permanent  benefit.  Its  surroundings,  by  the  expen- 
diture of  money  and  time,  liave  been  made  more  attractive. 
Luxuriant   flowers  line    the    banks  of    its   outlet,  while    the    Spring

itsflf  has  lii'iMi  covc'ivd  l)y  a  tastoful  summer-house,  as  sliown  in  the 
illustration,  inakin,<r  a  jileasiiiit,  cool  retreat.  A  little  oreck,  a  iH-rt'eet 
conservatory  of  acjuatie  and  amphibious  plants  and  flowers,  windiii;,' 
in  and  out  with  many  ahrupt  turns,  leads  to  within  a  few  paces  of  it. 
On  either  side  of  the  open  water  of  its  channel  is  an  almost  tropical 
j,'rowth  of  vetretation;  water-lilies,  pure  and  white  as  snow,  with 
hearts  of  u'olci  seeminfjly  asleej.  on  the  <rreen  he.l  of  their  loaves; 
yellow-docks;  arrow  heads,  with  purple  clusters  of  tiny  flowers,  yiant 
builrushes,  cat-tails  and  ferns— all  in  a  hewilderint;  tangle  of  luxuriant 
i;rowth,  at  times  almost  impassible.  This  Spring  is  a  most  valuable 
ac(iuisition  to  the  TiioiTijANi.  Island  Housk,  and  cannot  fail  to  be 
keenly  api>reciated  by  its  guests.  The  artist  lias  delineated  in  a 
perfect  manner  the  surroundings  of  the  Mineral  Spring,  with  the  little 
stream;  also  a  group  of  flowers  and  grasses  which  grow  so  luxuriantly 
in  that  vicinity. 

The  classes  of  diseases  most  benefited  by  these  waters,  are  the 
folU)wing: — Diseases  of  the  kidneys,  rheumatism,  neuralgia,  and 
especially  for  all  diseases  of  the  nervous  system  and  the  blood.

close  proximity  to  Mount  Royal  Park,  anil  on  the  main  avenue  leading

PLEASURE  TRAVEL  TO  MONTREAL  IN  WINTER 

dates  from  the  oixjning  of  Uw  AVin<lsor  Hotel.  The  winter  here  is  more 
enjoyable  than  anywhere  else  in  Canada  or  in  the  Northern  States,  and  the 
number  of  visitors  seeking  health  and  jjleasuro  increases  every  season.  The 
capacity  of  the  Winds(>r  was  never  so  severely  taxed  as  during  the  Winter 
Carnival  of  last  February.  The  famous  Ice  Palace  lifted  its  glistening  towers 
on  Dominion  Mcpiare,  facing  the  hotel,  and  as  the  Victoria  Rink  immediately 
adjoins  the  Windsor,  the  hotel  was  the  centre  of  attraction  during  Carnival

Long  Beach,  Long  Island. 


The  charming  climat<'  of  Long  Ihach,  Itx  cool  breezes,  the  absence  of  mosqui- 
toes and  the  ordinarg  />l(igues  of  summer  watering-places,  its  easg  accessibility  to 
JSTeic  York,  and  the  class  of  people  that  has  already  contributed  to  its  character- 
all  these  have  established  it  as 

THE  FIRST  OF  ALL  RESORTS  OH  THE  ATLAMTIC  COAST. 

The  natund  conditions,  the  topography  of  the  beam,  and  the  tidal  flow,  hax 
made  the  location  without  a  rival  in  a  sanitary  point  of  vimv.  The  climate  is  a 
specific  for  hay-fever,  and  for  all  such  stubborn  ailments. 

It  is  now  conceded  that  there  is  no  such  bathing-beach  anywhere  on  the  se<i- 
coast  as  at  Long  Beach.  We  are  pleased  to  announce  to  the  children  that  the  inlet 
for  still-water  bathing  is  forming  for  the  aeamn  of  1884-  The  fishing  for  the  last 
'ttco  seasons  has  been  better  here  than  at  any  other  point  on  the  Long  Island  coast. 
Boats  for  rowing,  sailing  and  blue-fishing  toill  h-  provided;  and  all  the  diversions 
for  which  the  south  side  of  Long  Island  is  celebrated  will  be  enjoyed  this  summer 
in  their  fullest  degree  by  the  guests  at  the  Long  Beach  Hotel. 

A  large  Bowling-edley  has  been  added,  which  is  a  constant  source  of  amuse 
mentfor  ladies  and  children.     Hot  .salt  toater  baths. 

This  Immense  Hotel  was  Completely  Remodeled  in  1882. 

The  visitor  icill  find  that  the  enormous  vacant  spaces  of  the  main  floor  have 
been  converted  to  the  more  direct  use  of  the  public  by  the  construction  of  a  handsome 
parlor  and  ball-room,  a  reading-room  and  reception-parlors,  a  new  and  elegant 
dining-room,  and  some  ten  sections  of  apartments  like  those  in  the  United  States 
Hotel  at  Saratoga,  and  similarly  styled  "  Voltage  Suites.'' 

The  Hotel  will  be  kept  on  the  American  plan,  ad  the  restaurant  business  will 
be  wholly  disassociated  from  the  house  and  transferred  to  Point  Lookout. 

Theodore  Tliomas'  Orchestra  has  been  engaged  for  the  season. 

Frequent  and  Fast  Trains  through  from  Hunter's  Point  and  Brooklyn,  will 
be  run  by  the  Long  Island  Railroad,  making  the  time  to  the  Beach  in  forty-fio 
niinules,  with  no  change  (fears. 

Point  Lookout  Hotel  and  Restaurant  will  be  connected  with  Long  Beach  Hotel.
